[users at bb.net] [Foreign Sender] Re: Detailed log of RemoveDirectory step's failure?

[Greg Bullock]

I confirm that the file path length > 260 (for one of the intermediate 
files) caused the RemoveDirectory step to fail.

Modifying the master.cfg to move CMake's build directory to a higher 
level solved the problem.

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions.
